For The O2 Arena, Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over. If you look under 25, you will be asked for ID to purchase alcohol.

Q: Can I take my camera along?

The O2 states in its terms and conditions that "the use of unauthorised cameras, video or sound recording equipment is prohibited and such items may be confiscated". We think you'll be fine to take along your personal camera or camera phone, but professional camera equipment will not be allowed into the venue. If in doubt, contact The O2 directly.

Long story short: Your phone is fine, but leave the big camera with the massive lens at home.

Erm, YES! We LOVE seeing how creative you can get with your props! Just try not to block the view of whoever's sat around you - they wanna see your fave too, not the back of your sign!

We and The O2 take the safety and security of all our fans and visitors very seriously. If you’re coming to the arena, please ensure you arrive in plenty of time to pass through their enhanced security checks.

The O2's security and guest relations team are there for your safety. Please cooperate fully with all security checks and support these vital members of their team as they carry out important work to keep us all safe and sound.

Q: Can I bring a bag with me?

The O2 advise you to not bring a bag if possible. They will not allow large bags into the venue but you will be permitted to take small bags and handbags in with you. The O2 class small bags as no larger than 35cm x 40cm x 19cm or standard handbags.

If you have to bring a large bag with you, you can leave it at the bag storage facility in Car park 1, at a cost of £10 per bag. All bags will be searched and screened before being accepted into the bag storage facility.
